Hi all, I really want some blue eggs to go along with my green eggs. Does anyone out there know where I can get Araucana pullets? I don't want the expense of a brooder, supplies, chick feed and such so I am looking for 5-6 month old pullets. Anybody know where I can get some? I am located in...

Now to my question...
